absorber
Impact-softening device
An absorber is something that takes in or soaks up another substance, energy, or force.
The term appears most often in technical contexts: a shock absorber dampens vibrations in vehicles, while materials described as absorbers capture sound, heat, light, or radiation.
In chemistry and engineering, absorbers are devices or substances designed to remove specific components from gases or liquids.
The carbon filter acts as an absorber for airborne contaminants.
